1.2 3000 Version 3 Modes
The 3000 Version 3 is programmable to operate in modes that vary from the standard setup. One mode, Cooks, allows
products to be cooked with multiple setpoints, a feature primarily used for bone-in chicken. Another mode, Filters, allows
programmable filtering prompts (assigning a number of cook cycles before a filter prompt occurs). Prompts to guide filter
steps also appear on the controller. The two modes can be used together or separately. When these modes are turned off, as
they are in the standard setup, the programming steps associated with them do not appear on the controller.
When these modes are turned on, or enabled, in the Tech Mode of the computer, their programming steps appear on the
controller.
Steps associated with programming these optional features are in gray type in this manual. If you are using the 3000
Version 3 with the Cooks and Filters features disabled, you will not see the items shown in gray type in the programming
steps. If you have Cooks and Filters enabled, the items shown in gray in this manual will appear in the programming steps
you encounter on the controller.
Follow these steps to enable or disable the Filters and Cooks options. The default setting of the controller is disabled.

1.8 Multiple Setpoint (Segmented) Cooking Overview
When the Cooks feature is enabled in the 3000 Version 3, segmented cooking is
possible. That means the product can cook at a variety of cooking temperatures with the
temperature changes occurring at user programmable points in the cook cycle.
When programming for segmented cooking, it is easiest to think of the entire cook cycle occurring on a countdown timer.
The cook cycle begins with its full time allotment, say, 13 minutes and it is completed when the countdown timer reaches
zero. The desired temperature changes are entered based on when they are to occur relative to the remaining cooking time.
The time entries for temperature changes are for the time remaining in the cook cycle, not the time elapsed. The graphic
below breaks down a 13-minute cook cycle. It’s best to create a similar table of time/temperature changes before beginning
the programming process.
Step 1 sets total cook time and initial setpoint.
Step 2 sets the duration of the first cooking segment, 2 minutes, and the setpoint of the first
temperature change.
Step 3 sets the duration of the second cooking segment, 4 minutes, and the setpoint of the
second temperature change.
Step 4 sets the duration of the third cooking segment, 3 minutes, and the setpoint of the third

1.10 Filter Menu*
*Not available with Filters option disabled.
The filter functions detailed below are only available if the Filters option is enabled in the C3000 Version 3. If Filters
is disabled, the Filter button has no function. Pressing it with the fryer OFF or ON will have no effect. See Page 1-2
for an explanation of enabling C3000 Version 3 options.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards
of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning
procedures.
DANGER
Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn
caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are
connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or
valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for disposal.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage
of hot oil.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line
located on the container.

Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint
between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip,
adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
